What is a Stakeholder in PMP?
Stakeholders in the PMP framework refer to individuals, groups, or organizations that have a vested interest in a project or can be influenced by its outcomes. Identifying and managing stakeholders is an essential aspect of project management, as their involvement and support can greatly impact the success of a project. Stakeholders can include project sponsors, customers, end users, team members, management, suppliers, regulators, and others. Understanding their expectations, requirements, and level of influence is crucial for effective project planning, communication, and decision-making.
